It’s as though there’s been an unbroken pact from regime to regime, whether through inheritance or war, from old to new, from the vanquished to the victor:
Under no circumstances must our citizens experience freedom. Authoritarian then, now, and forever.
We don’t need to, but we’re gonna do it anyway.

Definitely not, but Marxist-Leninist states like China tend to have collective leadership such that one-party authoritarianism doesn't collapse into one-man authoritarianism. Neither is especially egalitarian, but there is a difference.
